Blackburn Rovers close to completing deal for former Manchester United defender Wes Brown
Ex-Sunderland star Wes Brown on the verge of joining Owen Coyle's side
BLACKBURN Rovers are on the verge of completing a deal for former England defender Wes Brown.
The Championship side’s boss Owen Coyle confirmed that the club are currently in advanced talks with the 36-year-old.
Ex-Manchester United man Brown is currently a free agent following his release from Sunderland this summer after a five-year spell with the Premier League side.
The veteran had been training with the Ewood Park side during pre-season but a thigh strain scuppered the deal being completed earlier.
Rovers have allowed Brown, who won the Champions League twice during his time at Old Trafford and played over 250 games for the Red Devils, to undergo his rehabilitation with them.
